WORCESTER, Sept. 2t.--The finding Of pretty
Lille Hoyles dead body In a barn at oxford
fails to explain the mystery which has sur
rounded her disappearance from the town Of
Webster since Sept, 1. Lille was an orphan,
pretty and viyacious, and was compelled to
earn her own living. She worked In an Ice
cream saloon and was also engaged as alto
singer In the choir OF the NJ. E. church In
Webster. She had o wide acquaintance, aud
wac popular everywhere she was known. Hor
bright and winning ways, her pleasing address,
and her charms OF person caused her to
be much sought after. The population Of the
town being decidedly democratic, socially she
was known and liked In all iclasses of society.
She was a native of this city. and was born on
July a. 1866. Whom she was nero child her
parents moved to Webster. where her father,
Vim. Hoyle died fourteen years ago. Her mother
followed tho father to tho grave four years
ago, and pleasant, comfortable home, main
tained by tho industry Of pretty Lille and her
sister Alice, was broken up. The two orphan
sisters then rented room Of an uncle. and
lived together apparently contented with their
lot, respected by oil and bearing excellent
regulations.
In August last the two sisters went to Camp
White. on the Providence River. for short va
cation. Two days after their return Lille dis
appeared. She was at her work as usual in the
fee cream saloon until 9k In the evening. when
she was dismissed for the day. Going directly
TO her room. she found her sister Alice await
ing her. Half an hour was passed BY the sis
ters In pleasant conversation. Then Alice,
tired by her work In tho Stevens linen mill,
went to bed. She says that Lille seemed bright.
cheerful. and happy during their conversation.
While Alice was doxing In bed Lille removed
her watch, rings, and other ornaments, changed
her dress for an old blue satlne wrapper, and
left the room. Alice remembers all this very

Then she fell asleep and knew nothing more
until the following morning, when she awSke

Of her having been in o delicate condition and
having died from tho result Of criminal
operation. They say that 1t Is now an as

house. happy and careless. as usual. neither
knowing nor fearing harm, she was seized
by a villain or villains familiar with the
premises, hurried away. drugged perhaps. and,
after having been assaulted, was killed and
her body taken in wagon and concealed
where It was found. On the other hand a
theory that finds much favor on tho streets Is
that the girl was In delicate condition and
had consented to criminal operation to
sssye her fur. fame; that she adopted
night OF hor disappearance to deceive her sister
Alice and other friends: that she went from
